Research
My previous research focused on plant-pollinator networks in agroecosystems across space and time. In this context I am working on the project: Faktencheck Artenvielfalt specifically assessing the biodiversity in agricultural and open landscapes and I am coordinating the transdisciplinary EU project: RestPoll "Restoring pollinator habitats across European agricultural landscapes based on multi-actor participatory approaches", which aims to provide the society with tools to reverse the decline of wild pollinators.
